Cup Of Tea?

Tea Time

This quiet moment, while leaves
steep in tea's deepening hue,
we can take a breath and release
the thieves secreting away our time.
We can sweep our worries
into the keep, dissolve our wan
tears in this cup of clear infusion.
What good is it to weep,
when the worries will keep?
See, now the sun that grew these
leaves can seep into our hearts
and we can reap the time we take
to simply be here, holding our cups
in our cold hands, together.
